From the article

In order to have a stronger rushing attack in 2026, the Broncos are expecting a big jump from second year running back RJ Harvey. During his rookie season, Harvey led all skill position players with 12 touchdowns. This season, Harvey feels more comfortable at the position. After practice, he mentioned last year things were a bit difficult because of the verbiage and complexity of the offensive system. Entering year two, things have started to slow down for the former UCF standout.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Harvey's year-two comfort with Broncos' system should unlock rushing upside after 12 rookie TDs.

Second-year running back and 2025 second-round pick is expected to make a significant jump in 2026 after a rookie season that led all skill position players with 12 touchdowns. In preseason debut against Atlanta, Harvey had 5 carries for 16 yards (3.2 YPC), but the source notes his inconsistency as a runner left yards on the field last year. Harvey attributes his struggles to difficulty with offensive verbiage and system complexity; entering year two, he reports the system has 'started to slow down' for him, positioning him for improved productivity as a runner while maintaining his receiving upside.
